The striking architecture of the temple is due to the fact that its neo-Gothic construction was never completed. It was commissioned by Don Enrique María Repullés y Vargas in order to house the remains of Santa Teresa de Jesús and to be able to accommodate the thousands of pilgrims who come to visit this religious site on its date.

The Basilica of Santa Teresa de Jesús in Alba de Tormes, Salamanca, is a religious temple in the neo-Gothic style. It was conceived by Enrique María Repullés y Vargas to house the remains of Santa Teresa de Jesús and welcome the thousands of pilgrims who come to visit them. This grandiose project covers more than 3,100 m² in area and has eleven-meter-high naves and numerous side chapels.
